WEB

Let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

KJV

Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Commentary

Before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth,.... See Gill on Psa 96:13 , with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with eq uity; both at his first and second coming, and during the intermediate time; see the note as before. The only difference is, that in Psa 96:13 , it is said that he shall judge the people "with his truth", here "with equity", or "uprightnesses" (f); in the most upright manner, according to the strictest rules of justice and judgment; see Isa 11:3 . (f) "in rectitudinibus", Montanus, Michaelis. Next: Psalms Chapter 99 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: Psalms: Psalm...
